[ISLMA-Share] Crazy Question

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

There are so, so many, but this is the only one I can remember at this time...


A first grader asked for the John J. Harvey book and for some reason, my mind went to Lee Harvey Oswald.  After finding out that his teacher had read his class the book, it finally occured that he wanted the book Fireboat.  Doh!!


When I am stumped, I ask:

Where did you see this book?

Did we read it in the library?

Did your teacher read it to you?

Did a friend have it?--then let's go ask them what it was!

Most of the time we can get it figured out.

A high school class was assigned to read a biography or autobiography. One student asked if we had an autobiography of an animal.

I think the student left with Marley & Me.

All,


What was your craziest, most random or hardest Reader's Advisory question? And the answer if you found it.


You know like the question: "I read a book with a blue cover that I liked, but I can't remember the title."


I'm collecting for a class.


Thanks for the help.
